From Charlie Sykes:
The Federal Voting Assistance Program website published an
incorrect deadline for the return of returning military ballots in
Wisconsin. Had this error not been corrected, thousands of Wisconsin
servicemen and women could have been disenfranchised in this key swing
state this November.
The FVAB website incorrectly stated ballots must be returned by
November 16. The actual deadline is 4 p.m. November 9. Any military
ballots received in that intervening week would not have been counted by
local and state election officials.
MacIver News Service contacted the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board about the error on Tuesday and requested comment.
"All Wisconsin absentee ballots are due by 4 p.m. the Friday after
the election. The FVAP site was incorrect," said Reid Magney, GAB
spokesman in an emailed response to the inquiry.
Ballots must be postmarked no later than Election Day, which in 2012 is Tuesday, November 6th.
According to their website, The FVAP provides U.S. citizens
worldwide a broad range of non-partisan information and assistance to
facilitate their participation in the democratic process - regardless of
where they work or live. The FVAP also administers the Federal
responsibilities of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which
designates armed forces recruiting offices nationwide as voter
registration agencies allowing eligible U.S. citizens to apply for voter
registration, or apply to change voter registration data.

Wonder how else the Obama administration will try and screw voters?
